Councillors of the Toronto and East York Council have voted unanimously Monday night (June 22, 2015) to reduce the speed limit on residential streets in the 12 wards it includes from 40 km/h to 30 km/h. The large task of changing signs will take some time and there may be an issue about approval of the money needed to do this. That decision is said to belong to City Council as a whole. Mayor Tory has voiced opposition to the plan as has City staff. Leaside is not included in this decision. Here are the Councillors who voted Monday night: 14 (Parkdale-High Park) Gord Perks 18 (Davenport) Ana Bailão 19 (Trinity-Spadina) Mike Layton 20 (Trinity-Spadina) Joe Cressy 21 (St. Paul’s) Joe Mihevc 22 (St. Paul’s) Josh Matlow 27 (Toronto Centre-Rosedale) Kristyn Wong-Tam 28 (Toronto Centre-Rosedale) Pam McConnell 29 (Toronto-Danforth) Mary Fragedakis 30 (Toronto-Danforth) Paula Fletcher 31 (Beaches-East York) Janet Davis 32 (Beaches-East York) Mary-Margaret McMahon Toronto Star
